I pulled a pork tenderloin out of the freezer this morning with a bit of a vague idea of what I was going to do for dinner. A while later, I was in the office doing a bit of work whn Victor came in and asked if I wanted a stuffed pork tenderloin for dinner. I immediately said “YES!”
One thing about meals is I’m always willing to cook – but I’m also willing to sit back and be cooked for! Especially since Victor is such a good cook.
I love to eat and I love good food, but I’m also not a fussy eater. You’re cooking, I’m eating. But it definitely is a plus when it’s something pretty spectacular.
As was dinner, tonight.
Victor cooked off a filling of shallots, spinach, speck, sun-dried tomatoes, bread crumbs, mozzarella cheese, garlic, salt, and pepper. He split the tenderloin, pounded it a bit to get an even thickness, and then stuffed it and tied it. It went into a 350° oven for about 40 minutes.
Meanwhile, he cut up a couple of potatoes, cut a head of cauliflower into florettes, drizzled it all with olive oil, salt, pepper, and garlic, and placed it itto the same oven.
The flavors blended perfectly! Every bite put a smile on my face.
I really don’t understand people who don’t like to cook. You just can’t get a meal like this in a restaurant – or out of a box.
My stomach is smiling…
